Stijn Polfliet, Frederick Ryckbosch, Lieven Eeckhout · 2011
The amount of data produced on the internet is growing rapidly. Along with data explosion comes the trend towards more and more diverse data, including rich media such as audio and video. Data explosion and diversity leads to the emergence of data-centric workloads to manipulate, manage and analyze the vast amounts of data. These data-centric workloads are likely to run in the background and include application domains such as data mining, indexing, compression, encryption, audio/video manipulation, data warehousing, etc.
